Abstract: There has been a perceptible increase in both the intellectual and physical resources devoted to the cause of research and action in the field of women's development. The author argues that initiatives in this realm are largely policy induced and devoid of any clear focus or strategy. Interven tions that aim at promoting entrepreneurship among women in rural India are no exception. This paper reviews the strategies and approaches fol lowed in the country over the past four decades and argues for the integration of gender as a critical parameter in the policies and program mes devised in the government as well as non-government sectors.
